BOOK DESCRIPTION
This is a textbook for high-enrolment undergraduate (100 level) course in the FSHN (Food Science and Human Nutrition) department at UH Manoa. It will cover elementary aspects of several biological sciences, including information on what nutrients are and what nutrients and foods do for humans; how healthy people can best get the amounts of nutrients and foods they need throughout their lifetime; how people and the environment change foods and their nutrient content; and nutrition issues of current interest.

This textbook is scheduled for completion for the Fall 2017 semester. In the upcoming months, we will need your help marketing the book for course adoptions.

Hi there! I’m an undergraduate copy editor at University of Victoria. I recently finished working on the upcoming issue of Victorian Review and would be really interested in helping out with this initiative. (My program: linguistics and professional communications.) Even if another more experienced copy editor offers to participate, if they would like an assistant I’d be very happy to help!

@wmeinke Hello, I’m a librarian at the Ryerson University Library & Archives. One of the faculty areas I support is the School of Nutrition here at Ryerson University. I would be interested in helping out through acting as a reviewer or editor. I’ve worked as a reviewer/editor for several library publications over my career.

I would like to help with this book. I can review the chapter on lipids and one on water. Sara Bachman Ducey, Certified Nutrition Specialist, MS Human Nutrition, MPH, Environmental Health Science. I teach at Montgomery College in Maryland.
